Overview

Incite Tax is looking for a Director of Accounting to lead, develop, and elevate their bookkeeping team. This is a full-time, onsite leadership position based in Draper, UT — not a client-facing role, with a hybrid option after the first 90 days.

Your week will look something like this: leading team huddles and leadership meetings, reviewing and giving feedback on bookkeepers' work, driving process improvements, and overseeing cleanup project estimates to keep the department profitable. You're not managing client relationships — you're building the team and systems that make excellent client outcomes possible.

This is the right role for someone who gets genuine satisfaction from developing people, tightening processes, and setting a high standard for what "clean books" actually looks like.

Responsibilities/ What You’ll Do

Departmental Leadership: Supervise, mentor, and grow Bookkeepers; ensure the team feels supported, held accountable, and empowered to fulfill their roles.

Process Innovation & Efficiency: Continuously evaluate workflows and implement improvements that increase accuracy and efficiency across the department. Participate in BK Council meetings and bring proactive ideas to the table.

Quality Standards & Training: Own department huddles and high-level training sessions. Define and uphold the standard for clean books, accurate financial reporting, and excellent client-ready deliverables.

Peer Review & Quality Assurance: Review bookkeeping data entry and "clean-up" projects performed by staff to ensure the highest level of service across all clients.

Pricing & Scoping Strategy: Verify bookkeeping pricing and oversee the estimation of clean-up projects to ensure the department remains profitable and sustainable.

Capacity & Coverage Management: Monitor the BK Review Pool and staff capacity, stepping in to provide high-level support and decision-making when team members are out of the office.

Who We’re Looking For / Qualifications

5+ years of bookkeeping or accounting experience - required

Proven experience supervising or mentoring bookkeeping staff

Strong attention to detail and organizational skills

Proficiency in full-cycle bookkeeping, financial reporting, complex account clean ups, and with QuickBooks or similar accounting software

Excellent communication and follow-up skills

A proactive attitude and willingness to learn.

Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving environment while staying connected to the team.

Adaptable to change and genuinely enjoy being part of a culture that takes the work seriously but not itself

A team player who appreciates a lighthearted culture (dad jokes welcome).

Benefits

Comprehensive health insurance

401K with employer match

Paid Time Off (PTO)

14 paid holidays (including Christmas Eve through New Year’s Day)

Opportunities for professional development and career growth

Casual dress code (jeans and t-shirts encouraged)

Supportive culture that values work-life balance and employee well-being
